"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."

I LOVE Back to the Future, so when I came across a great deal for the vaulted Back to the Future Pop's! I knew that I had to use them in a PC build. The prices included are the prices that I payed for the parts. Everything is new, apart from the graphics card. I had to RMA my last one, but there wasn't stock to replace it!

Build has x6 RGB fans with a fan controller. These are off brand ones that I paid £36 for, and I have been amazed at how cool they keep my case! I plan on getting sleeved cable extensions in the future to make it look a bit cleaner. CPU cooler is also second hand. I managed to pick it up for £9.99, and it works great as my CPU is locked! It was purely for aesthetic reasons.

PC is an absolute beast and has handled all games I have played at Very High/Ultra settings. Currently I use a 144hz 1080p monitor (Samsung C24FG70) but I am looking to upgrade in the future to a 1440p 144hz monitor.

I haven't listed all of the things included in the build, plus, you always start too high. I don't expect to get 1,250 for it, but if I started with the amount that I wanted, people would always expect lower. If you don't feel that it is worth that amount, then keep on scrolling. No need to bash the asking price.

The Core i5-8400 is nowhere near a bad GPU? It ranks higher than Ryzen 2600 on CPUUserbenchmark. It is a 6 core and 6 thread CPU, and has no problem handling the GPU. I get no bottleneck? A lot of people don't realise that it is a beast of a CPU.
